ABSTRACT This guide assists service providers in developing a comprehensive plan for aiding farmworkers during federally declared disasters, undeclared emergencies, and other crises that affect the agricultural industry. The first section outlines general characteristics of the farmworker population and describes how farmworkers have been overlooked during disaster relief efforts in the past. The seccnd section explains the role of government and how disaster aid is allocated during presidentially declared and undeclared disasters. This section also introduces the four phases of comprehensive emergency management used by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and state emergency plans. The third section outlines the development of a plan, including researching the community, coordinating with other agencies, sharing information about resources, determining whether resources meet needs, and annexing the plan to the state emergency operations plan. Also included are ideas for in-staff training and an assessment tool for assessing farmworker damage. The next section includes forms and instructions for evaluating service strengths and weaknesses. The last section lists names and addresses of contacts and resources for social workers, teachers, and others who work with migrant farmworkers. Included are descriptions of federal disaster programs fnr farmworkers and a listing of state resources and foundation resources. Includes a glossary. (LP)

al-lope in eveg sphere of life is a privilege that attaches to action. No action, no hope." Peter Levi, British Professor of Poetty
Over the past decade, the Association of Farmworker Opportunity Progams (AFOP) has been initiating action to improve disaster assistance for farmworkers. By pthering data on the scores of natinal disasters that hit agriculture and testifying before Congress, AFOP informs national leaders and the public about the debilitating effects disasters can have on farrnworkers and on the organizations that serve them.
Disas,ers that hit during peak harvesting seasons may wipe out a year's worth of earnings for a migant or seasonal farmworker family, who can be left with no income, no fuod, no place to live, and no way to realm home. When these crises occur, farmworker service providers can easily find themselves ill-equipped to meet the myriad of farmworker needs. In addition, farmworkers' needs are not specifically mentioned in many of the state emergency operations plans, and services for them are consequently unorganized.
Developing a Farmworker Disaster Plan was created to empower service providers to take strategic action befire a disaster occurs. With a comprehensive plan in place, you will know what will need to be done, how it will be done, who will do it, and where to look for resources. You will also be able to wher enough information to incorporate the essence of your farmworker disaster plan into your state's emergency operations plan. Also, by including a farmworker annex into your state's emergency operations plan, you will provide a vital link between farmworkers and the local, state, and federal relief agencies.
Developing a Fannworker Disaster Plan wa.; organized as a leader's guide to help you discover more about your community and other service organizations so that together, you can create an effective plan of action to address farmworkers' needs during times of disaster.
Why Do Farmworkers Need a Plan?outlines general character.;st.cs of the farmworker population and also describes how they have been left out of disaster-relief efforts in the past.
Who Responds to Disasters?explains the role of local, state and federal government and describes how disaster aid is allocated during a presidentially declared and undeclared disaster. This section also introduces the four phases Introduction
of comprehensive emergency management used in FEMA and state emergency operations plans. These phases will also form the basis of your disaster plan.
How to Develop Your Plan guides you through the process of developing both your plan and an annex to your state emergency operations plan. The process is broken down into five steps: Research Your Community, Coordinate, Share Your Resources, Do Your Resources Meet the Needs, and Put Your Plan into Annex Form. We've also included an Essential Elements Checklist for your plan, some ideas for in-staff training, and a tool for conducting a farmworker damage assessment
The Additional Rallis section has mnera-ready copies of three forms we developed to help your workgroup determine service strengths and weaknesses. We have also included in this section a Farmworker Damage Assessment Form.
Contacts and Resources provides a wealth of available contacts and resources that should help you when you create and implement your plan. Federal farmworker disaster assistance programs, community resources, and foundation resources piovide you with lists of federal and state agencies and foundations.
GlOsSary section defines acronyms and other commonly-used terms to help orient you to FEMA's disaster vocabulary.
Contributing Documents lists sources that were used to create this guide.
Throughout this guide, we used the term "disaster" as a catch-all expression when describing not only federally declared disasters, but also undeclared emergencies and crises. However, FEMA and state emergency agencies distinguish between a -declared disaster (with the president's declaration), an undeclared emergency (without the president's declaration), natural disasters, and technological disasters. We hope that the glossary section will help to clarify some of these differences.
Developing a Farmworker Disaster Plan: A Guide for Service Providers could not have been completed without a generous grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families' Office of Community Services. We hope that this guide will be a valuable tool for service providers as they continue to serve migrant a7,d seasonal farmworkers.

7 vi Why Do Farmworkers Need a Plan? ++
Farmworkers are a very hard-to-serve population because of theirmobility, isolation, limited education and transferable skills, working poor status,and lack of labor standard protections. Often, they are ill-served byfederal and state assistance efforts. This section provides somegeneral information about who farmworkers are and gives examples of when the basic needsof farmworkers were not met during disasters.
Who Are Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers?
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services found in a 1990study that 4.1 million farmworkers and their families lived ;n the U.S. andPuerto Rico from 1987 through 1989. Migrant farmworkers are hired each season to harvest crops. They regularly travel every 4 to 5 months to otherregions to find work, and live in temporary housing or labor camps. Seasonalfarrnworkers also harvest crops, but do not travel. They may work in agriculture only during harvest time, and may work in other capacities for theremainder of the year. They usually live in homes rather than in labor camps.
In "normal" times, the strain of daily life for farmworkersis difficult physically as well as economically. Working long hours during thepeak
In a 1993 survey conducted by AF013, farmworkers serviceproviders listed obstacles that inhibited farrnworker access to nutrition and education services. These same problems worsen during disasters.
lack of funding farmworker fear of legal problems food pantries that do not have farmworker misinformation about culturally appropriate foods programs and resources overworked staff farmworker lack of transportation language and cultural barriers poorly located WIC, Food Stamp, between public agency staff and and other assistance offices farrnworkers lengthy public application forms insufficient outreach to camps Governor's refusal to use federal inadequate food storage disaster assistance to save migrants in their states. lack of grower or crewleader cooperation Why Do Farmworkers Need a Plan?
agricultural season, they often earn below minimum wage because theseason lasts for a short period of time. For migrant farmworkers, therecan be a lag of several days or weeks between jobs as they travel fromone state to another in search of work. Uncertainty only a'...e.entuates their hardships. When disasters strike, farmworkers can be left without jobs and incometo support their families for the balance of the year. Farmworkers in 49states are not eligible for unemployment compensation. Theyare only eligible for disaster unemployment if they can prove that thc: were employedon a farm that was affected by the disaster. Because farmworkers haveso few labor protections and no fringe benefits, no work means no income topay for food, housing, health care and transportation to find alternative work.
The effects of disasters upon migrant and seasonal farmworkersvary. Seasonal farmworkers often bear the greater long-term impact, since they donot travel to other areas to obtain work, and live year-round on what they make from one season's worth of work. For seasonal workers, a disaster in the peak of the season could require immediate and longer-term assistance not provided under most disaster assistance programs. However, since seasonal workers have adapted to their community, they do not face thesame isolation or alienation that migrant workers do. Because migrant workers tendto be more socially, culturally and geographically isolated, theycan be more difficult to locate and serve. Local residents, if they are aware that farmworkers exist in their area, may be suspicious of them and unable to communicate because of language differences. Service providers have found that these suspicionscan lead to misunderstandings during disasters.
Among both migrant and seasonal farmworkers, countless thousands have gone hungry in past disasters because no prior plan was in place to identify farmworkers as a needy group and address their needs. State and local agencies, both public and private, must coordinate their effortsto ensure that farmworkers' needs are not forgotten.
Farmworkers in Past Disasters
Disasters which affect only farmworkers tend to be caused by both natural circumstances and economic crises. Mass lay-offs due to farm closingsmay be caused by a disaster or by an unrelated economic downturn. These disasters are more silent than community-wide disasters but can be just as economically debilitating. Although farmworkers' lives may not bein immediate danger, they will be out of work and without unemployment compensation, creating a major economic strain for them and the agencies that serve them.
When disasters affect farmworkers, not onlyare farmworker service providers in that state strained, but also their counterparts in the states to which the farmworkers will be travelirw. Disaster assistance generally does not follow the victims, but instead goes to t...e area where the disaster occurred. Mass lay-offs
2 9 Why Do Farmworkers Need a Plan?
caused by a declared disaster often force migrant farmworkers to leave ahead of schedule to find work in another state. Because of this displacement, organizations in other states also have to contend with disaster effects but without the benefit of any disaster aid.
During the Midwest floods of 1993, for example, thousands of farmworkers were stranded with no money to travel on or return to homes in Texas. Service providers in the flooded areas exhausted their non-disaster resources a id had to scrounge for donations while hoping for federal dollars. Many feared that by the time federal funding arrived for the Midwestern states, most farmworkers would have already returned to their homes in Texas. Unfortunately, no federal dollars came for farmworker victims in the Midwest.
Meanwhile, Texas felt the brunt of the crisis, as farmworkers eventually straggled back south with little or no earnings. Sk federal monies cannot be appropriated to states where a disaster did not occur, some farmworkers waited in the northern states before realizing that no relief would be coming anytime soon. Congress appropriated funds for the 1993 summer floods in August. However, USDA chose not to allocate any of the available $20 million of funds allowable to serve farmworkers.
The Midwest floods were not the first time farmworkers did not receive any aid. In 1992, migrant farmworkers who suffered from the effects of Hurricane Andrew were denied assistance because they were not legal residents. For seasonal workers, assistance was not provided until well past the period of critical need. These cases prove that service providers must respond quickly to disaster victims' needs and not totally rely on outside assistance.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Hugo in 1989, FEMA and the Red Cross worked together to provide basic assistance to disaster victims left homeless. Migrant farmworkers who rented a place to stay were given temporary shelter, while other migrant workers who had stayed at labor camps were categorized as homeless and were not offered additional shelter, although many of the camps were destroyed.
Farmers, on the other hand, can more easily receive help through federal disaster loan and grant programs. Unlike many other insurance customers, farmers receive a direct federal subsidy to take preventive measures before a disaster strikes. However, those migrant and seasonal farmworkers, who the farmers hire to
3 1 0 harvest their crops and who 3 re more economically vulnerable, receive little assistance or relief. Federal and state agencies assume that when farmers are assisted, funds will automatically triclde down to the farmworkers. As service providers know, farmworkers usually do not benefit from farm assistance.
During the 1988 Midwest drought, hundreds of unemployed farmworkers wandered through the region looking for work, uninformed on the severity of the drought. Unable to find more than a few days' work, they ran out of money and were stranded at emergency shelters and along the highways. While farmers automatically received $3.9 billion in federal assistance, it took the combined efforts of farmworker organizations and a few sympathetic farmers to provide the emergency assistance necessary for stranded farmworkers to return home.
These are just a few of the disasters that have occurred during the past ten years. Countless other undeclared emergencies have devastated a ,d destabilized the earning potential of those farmworkers affected. These past crises exemplify how farmworkers' needs were neglected, and a disaster plan for them would have been invaluable. These situations justify the need for a unified force of community agencies working together and pooling their resources to help farmworkers before, during and after disasters. With a disaster plan, service providers can play an important role in highlighting the impact that disasters have on fartnworkers and by linking farmworkers with disaster-related services.
1 1 4 Who Responds to Disasters?
Who Responds to Disasters? +++
When a disaster occurs, elements of the community must work together to help the victims and rcpair the damage. Depending on the magnitude and severity of the disaster, all three levels of government coordinate services and resources according to federal, state, and local guidelines. The following section identifies the roles of each level of government during times of d isaster.
The Role of Local Government
Government at the local level, (city, town, or other designation) is the first line of disaster response. The various branches of local government act upon guidelines outlined in the local emergency operations plan. These plans typically have three parts: a basic plan, functional annexes, and hazard-specific appendices. If a disaster plan for farmworkers already exists, it would be found in the functional annex section.
When a disaster or emergency is imminent, local government agencies warn the public through radio and television messages. If governmental officials, such as the mayor or county commissioner, decide the disaster is severe enough, they then may choose to establish an emergency operations center (EOC). The EOC is the nerve center of' local emergency response efforts for local governmental personnel.
From the center, government officials dispatch emergency personnel, such as police, fire, health and medical officials, in addition to needed equipment and supplies. In the case of a major disaster, the local government must ensure that the general population and special population groups, such as farmwork, are evacuated. The local government must also provide temporary shelter and other life support to disaster victims.
The local government also evaluates response efforts through regular tests and exercises. It must train public officials, emergency response personnel, and the public on various aspects of emergency management, such as protective measures, emergency concepts, and other skills.

1 3 fto Responds to Disasters?
The Role of State Government
States can provide additional services and help supplement local efforts when the disaster needs outstrip local government capabilities. State agencies respond according to the guidelines of the state EOP.
The state EOP provides the blueprint of disaster relief activities before, during, and after a disaster strikes. State EOPs address the needs of the general population, and do not focus on special populations, such as farmworkers. However, some state plans feature separate annexes of specialized plans serving certain populations or simply refer the reader to the Department of Health and Social Services for more information. Currently, there is little description of interagency efforts to address farmworkers, or how they link with local and state government operations. States can play a role in improving service to farmworkers by including farmworker needs as an annex in their state plan.
When gathering information about disaster programs, you may want to contact your state emergency program manager who may know about disaster assiqance programs in your state.
The Role of the Federal Government
After the president has signed a disaster declaration, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) gains control of all disaster response and recovery efforts, and mobilizes state emergency management offices. FEMA also provides supplemental federal aid programs to individuals and to community and state organizations.
Direct disaster assistance from FEMA falls into two broad categoriespublic assistance and individual assistance. FEMA administers individual assimnce through Disaster Application Centers which are opened after a disaster occurs. Individual assistance programs offer temporary housing, low interest loans and grants. Residency and citizenship requirements may restrict migrant and seasonal farmworkers from applying to these programs. FEMA offers public assistance programs to communities, states, and non-governmental organizations who provide disaster relief services. Public assistance programs are usually adminit;tered through the Disaster Field Office, which is similar to the Emergency Operations Center, except that it includes federal assistance control operations.
7 14 Who Responds to Disasters?
Because FEMA has a high-profile role during disasters, communities tend to have high expectations of FEMA's assistance and services. A 1993 Government Accounting Office report mentioned that FEMA has been criticized in the past for its inability to adequately assess damage, provide needed food and shelter, and finance disaster prevention activities. However, FEMA was originally created to only supplement local efforts when the needs of disaster victims outstrip the resources of the community.
Farmworkers more often end up being categorized by FEMA programs as homeless, because their needs don't fit the kinds of programs available. Consequently, disaster funding may be provided in areas of lower priority for farmworkers, rather than vouchers for food, transportation and other more immediate needs. FEMA programs are geared to local residents who are able to recuperate from disaster losses after FEMA provides temporary restoration of basic survival needs.
Short term assistance from FEMA can provide mass feeding, relocation, food and shelter, as it does for other disaster victims. However, because of the mobile lifestyle of migrant farmworkers, the immediate needs of farmworkers do not diminish; they continue. FEMA does not have any type of assistance program which compensates farmworkers for the percentage of annual income that was lost due to a disaster. This is because farmworkers are seasonally employed, arid the disaster may occur during the peak of the season when they earn the largest percentage of their annual income. FEMA's prograrr-, are geared toward serving individuals who are employed year-round, not seasonally employed workers.
Neither does FEMA have an incentive prolram for a farmer to keep unaffected labor camps open. FEMA programs such as Disaster Unemployment Assistance cannot relieve problems of most farmworkers, and as a result, many remain unserved. To be eligible for DUA,applicants must be considered employed at the time of the disaster. Farmworkeri who recently arrived in an area, or who were en route to get work and arrived late and were waiting for work, would not be eligible for DUA.
Farmworkers have expressed concerns about the delay in learning whether their applications for assistance have been approved or denied. If a person is not approved, they are not informed at the time of application and must wait for a response. Some farmworkers have stated that they have waited up to 60 days. This waiting period is often problematic for farmworkers, because they may not have access to resources other residents have.
Because farmworkers live in camps or rental housing, showing proof of address and damage as required can be difficult. Any damage to property must be shown to be caused by the disaster, after which time a FEMA damage assessor decides whether the assistance is warranted. It is the farmer or
8 1 5 Who Responds to Disasters?
landlord who generally gets the assistance for damage to property, even though farmworkers may have lost all personal possessions. Since FEMA is more "brick and mortar" oriented, reconstruction and repair of buildings and property get priority for assistance over other losses.
FEMA disaster assistance cannot be authorized until a disaster is declared by the president. Before a request for federal assistance is sent to the president, however, the regional FEMA office must approve te request. If they feel that the request is unusual or not warranted, they may hold the request indefinitely for verification. During this period, until a disaster is declared, communities cannot count on federal assistance. Rather, they must look to non-governmental organizations.
The Role of Non-Governmental Organizations (NG0s)
Non-gc vernmental organizations, including private and not for profit c ganizations, have a certain amount of flexibility during disasters when working with the local, state and federal levels. When a disaster is declared, non- governmental organizations can coordinate their services with governmental agencies and can also provide direct services on their own, without having to go through bureaucratic channels. When a disaster is not declared and less federal assistance is available, non-governmental organizations, which usually have a most resources to help farmworkers, are able to coordinate relief efforts themselves.
One well-known non-governmental organization, the American Red Cross, is federally chartered to coordinate the disaster response efforts of voluntary organizations during declared and undeclared emergencies. During declared disasters, the Red Cross is the official liaison between FEMA and volunteer organizations. Because it also is funded through donations, the Red Cross can act independently of FEMA and assist during undeclared emergencies.
The Flow of Disaster Assistance
When a disaster takes place, a chain of command takes effect which can involve local, state, and federal levels of government. If local government cannot meet its disaster needs, the mayor can call on the governor to make additional assistance available. At this point, the governor relinquishes control to the state. State operations are handled out of the EOC. If the damage is too widespread to be controlled by state and local resources, the state
9 16 Who Responds to Disasters?
governor can issue a request, through FEMA, that the presidentdeclare federal disaster. The FEMA regional director evaluates the damage and makes a recommendation to the president.
If the president signs a disaster declaration, then FEMA gains administrative control of all disaster relief efforts (as authorized by the Disaster Relief Act of 1974, otherwise known as the Stafford Act). FEMA employees travel to the affected areas, oversee relief efforts, and open up one or more Disaster Field offices (DF0s). DFOs are the same as the state's EOC except that the DFOs include state and local as well as federal control headquarters. The use of the same facility allows for greater coordination betweenfederal, state and local governments.
At this time, Disaster Applicion Centers are also set up, which is where disaster victims can apply for federal, state, and local assistance. Additional public and private assistance programs also become available to states, non-governmental organizations, and disaster victims. Applications for federal assistance by these organizations are made at the DFO.
The Role of the Emergency Program Manager
The emergency program manager, sometimes called the state coordinating officer, serves as the state-level FEMA representative who oversees all response and recovery activities during a declared disaster. The emergency program manager also makes sure that the state and local disaster plans are implemented smoothly and helps coordinates the activities of public and private agencies.
Before a disaster strikes, the emergency program manager makes an inventory of all available resources from the private sector to ensure that they are sufficient to carry out disaster relief efforts. The emergency program manager also analyzes the potential effects of hazards, leads public education efforts about these hazards, and ensures that all response programs are in place.
As the key FEMA representative in your state, the emergency program manager is an important resource, and should be closely involvedin helping you develop a farmworker disaster plan and farmworker annex.
The Four Phases of Comprehensive Emergency Management
FEMA and state disacter plans are organized into the four phases of comprehensive emergency management: mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. In order to develop a plan that works effectively with state and national relief efforts, you must be familiar with these terms in order to structure your own plan in a similar way. You should also contact your state
10 Who Responds to Disasters? emergency management office to receive a copy of your state's disaster plan and to find out more about your state and local disaster procedures.
Mitigation phaseincludes activities that help to reduce the risk of damage and injury to the community if a disaster occurs. For farmworkers this can involve a great amount of coordinating, planning and advocacy.
Preparedness phaseincludes activities and programs that help you gear up for imminent disaster. They are in place prior to an emergency and will make it easier to respond after an emergency or disaster occurs. For farmworkers, these activities include training and practice drills.
Response phaseincludes activities and programs to address the immediate and short-term effects at the beginning of an emergency or disaster. These activities and programs help to reduce damage and speed recovery. Response activities should only be attempted by FEMA agents and other specially-trained authorities. Activities include warning, evacuating victims and lifesaving.
Recovery phaseincludes activities that help to restore the community to normal, or near normal. Short-term recovery assesses damage and returns essential systems and services (electricity, food and water supplies) to prior operating levels. Long-term rzcovery activities (rebuilding and training) may continue for many years.
Recovery activities allow service providers to reflect on the effectiveness of their plan, and think about what actions worked and what actions did not. By reflecting on past events, this helps to anticipate future needs. This allows the service providers to bring the emergency management process back into the mitigation phase. In this way, a new cycle begins.

73 11 How To Develop Your Nan
Disaster assistance for farmworkers, as AFOP has documented during the past ten years, does not automatically flow from state or federal levels to farmworkers unless the needs are identified and justified, and brought to state or national attention. 'Whether or not state or federal assistance becomes available, local farmworker service agencies need to act if farmworker disaster needs are to be met. In order for your agency's actions to be efficient and effective, you must plan in advance of a disaster. This advanced planning must involve all community service providers who will, either directly or indirectly, serve farmworkers in need.
A disaster plan states what will be done, who will do it and when. It shows how various agencies and organizations will mobilize to prepare for, respond to and recover from a disaster or crisis situation. Every community's plan will be different, according to the needs of the farmworkers and the surrounding community, the resources available, and the type of disaster.
The following steps will help you to better know your local community and work with other agencies to develop a plan.
1. Research Your Community
2. Coordinate With Other Agencies
3. Share Information About Your Resources
4. Do Your Resources Meet the Needs?
5. Put Your Plan into Annex Form

14 1.Research Your Community
Knowing how your community copes with d'Asasters is the first step in developing your plan. You should learn what disasters have affected your community and how your community reacted. Check to see if a county or state plan is in place and if it addresses farmworkers' needs. Also, find L. Le names of key contacts who you think should be involved in creating a farmworker disaster plan. Here are some questions that need to be answered while you research your community:
1. Research past disasters in your area.
What types of_clisasters have occurred in the past? Make a list of all past disasters and include the date, disaster type, the level of community damage, -,nd how farmworkers were affected. You may have to speculate on how farmworkers were impacted, as this information may not be available.
+ How many farmworkers were affected in each of those disasters?
What type of assistance was given to farmworkers? Who provided the assistance and for how long?
4 What were the strengths and weaknesses of the relief efforts?
4 Were seasonal farmworkers treated the same or differently from the migrant farmworkers?
2. Get a copy of your county and state Emergency Operations Plans (EOP) from your state emergency management office.
4 What are the potential disasters that could impact your area and affect farmworkers, such as floods, droughts, and freezes?
4 How does your state plan direct the activities of service organizations during disaster relief? Your state emergency manager should have more information.

4.Is there a governor's council or interagency task force on farmworkers already in existence? If so, try to attend their meetings and get them involved with a disaster plan workgroup.
4.Does your area have a chapter of VOAD (Voluntary Organizations Active in Disasters)? If so. find out how to become a member. Their national Washington, DC office is listed in the "Resources in Your Community" section of this guide.
4. Find out what local, state, and federal programs could provide disaster assistance to farmworkers.
4.'What local programs could assist farn,..::ers? Research programs, such as food pantries, utility programs, temporary shelters, emergency medical organizations, and the National Guard and find the types of services they provide. Your local emergency manager should have some information about these programs.
4- What state programs could assist farmworkers? Again, your local emergency manager should have some informatioo, but you may also want to contact the Office of Emergency Services, Employment Development Department, Department of Economic Opportunity, and Department of Social Services. Find out what services and resources they offer.
4 What federal pr,-grams could assist farmworkers? You can begin your research by reviewing the "Federal Farmworker Disaster Assistance" section in this guide. Determine if new sources of services and resources could be mobilized for your community.
5. Know your political representatives and inform them about how farmworkers are impacted during disasters.
4i Who are your city, county, state, and federal representatives?
4. Do your representatives know about the farmworkers in your area? Send them an information packet about how disasters impacted farmworkers, in the past, what assistance they received or didn't receive, and what additional assistance is needed.
22 16 How To Develop Your Plan
2.Coordinate With Other Agencies
Now that you have more information about your community and the state disaster plan, the next step is to meet with other service providers, form a disaster plan workgroup, and use the information that you have learned.
The purpose of this disaster workgroup is to develop and implement a farmworker disaster plan. The workgroup must first decide if a disaster plan for farmworkers is needed. If the group does decide to develop a plan, they should try to meet regularly before, during, and after the plan has been completed. Your community plan will be a working document that will need to be regularly evaluated and updated. The following steps will help you prepare for and lead a series of disaster workgroup meetings.
Because the first meeting is the most critical, we have specified which activities must be covered in that meeting. Subsequent meetings should be carried out according to the pace of your workgroup.
1. Plan a series of disaster workgroup meetings.
Plan to invite all key individuals and organizations who work with farmworkers in your community. For more ideas of who to invite in your state, refer to the "Resources in Your Community" section in this guide. Also plan to invite local growers, community leaders, and the state emergency manager. 4.In your invitation letter, include an agenda, a copy of this guide, and ask each agency representative to be prepared to discuss the programs they provide to farmworkers. Ask them to bring suggestions about ways to increase funding to address disasters.
4. To prepare for the meeting, find a large room and bring a sign-up sheet. An easel with a large pad of paper and markers might be useful, too.
4.If possible, set up the chairs and tables in the meeting room in a conference or hollow square style so all the participants can see each other.
23 17 How To Develop Your Plan
4You may want to plan a teambuilding activity, so that the people in your group can feel comfortable working together. You should at least ask each person give their name, tell about any disaster experience, and describe the programs their organization offers.
4 Coordinate schedules so you can have the greatest level of participation. Allow enough time to adequately discuss the issue, and start on time.
2. Discuss farmworker needs.
If you do not work with farmworkers directly, plan to have a farmworker service provider to speak about farmworkers and the services that are in demand. Also, find out more about the following subjects before the next meeting: Describe the farmworkers in your community: languages, ethnic groups, seasonal and migrant populations (include peak agricultural work months), estimated number of individuals, living conditions, and locations in your community.
4 How do farmworkers access services? Is transportation a problem?
4Brainstorm about the needs of farmworkers during a "normal" season. How do their needs change after a disaster? How must services change
3. Discuss the need for a plan.
As a member of the workgroup, each representative should understand that they will be expected to contribute information about their organizations and commit their organization to provide services. As a group, you will need to discuss if a farmworker disaster plan is needed for your community. While you are discussing this, consider the following questions: 4 What were your findings from your earlier research on your community?
How often do disasters occur in your area?
Have farmworkers' disaster needs been met in your area?
4.What is the role of federal, state and local government in disaster assistance? Plan to have a representative from your state emergency management agency attend the first meeting to explain the details.
Brief participants on your county and state Emei6ency Operations Plans, so that all are aware of the operation procedures when a 24
18 How To Develop Your Plan
disaster affects the entire community. Discuss the importance of including an annex for farmworkers in your state's plan.
4. What is the role of the private, non governmental organizations?
4.'What can be done to improve disaster assistance for farmworkers?
4.Does the group think a disaster plan is necessary for farmworkers in your area?
4.Elect a workgroup leader to run the meetings.
25 19 How To Develop Your Plan
3.Share Information About Your Resources
Knowledge about the already existing programs and resources that organizations have within the disaster workgroup is key in developing your plan. Each organization must have a clear idea of each of their programs. Each organization representative must get clearance from organization supervisors to present their information to the group and to commit to some extent the use of their services during times of disaster.
This guide includes three forms that will help you determine the range of available emergency resources: the Disaster Assistance Resources Sheet, the Services and Resource Tally Sheet, and the Responsibility Matrix Sheet. It is important to fill them out in this order, because information from the Disaster Assistance Resources Sheet will be used to complete the other two forms. A sample of each form is included in this section while more blank copies are included in the' "Forms" section near the end of the guide. 4 The Disaster Assistance Resources Sheet should be completed by each organization,
4.The Service and Resource Tally Sheet should be completed by the workgroup leader, and
4.The Responsibility Matrix Sheets should be completed by entire workgroup.
Workgroup leaders should also be aware of the important role of the major service category featured on all three sheets. These broad service categories enable you to easily group common programs together so the workgroup can evaluate community strengths and weaknesses. In addition, programs and services listed under each of these categories will later form subgroups. Each subgroups will coordinate to create their own service strategy and will contribute to the overall workgroup plan.
1. Complete a Disaster Assistance Resources Sheet.
Once completed, this form will list programs and services that the organizations in your workgroup can provide for farmworkers and for a relief effort during a disaster. We suggest that you mail several copies of the Disaster AssistInce Resources Sheet to workgroup members and have them return them to you as soon as possible before your next meeting (when the workgroup will complete the Responsibility Matrix Sheet). Make a special effort to get input from growers regarding available farm labor housing.

2. Complete a Service and Resource Tally Sheet.
The Service and Resource Tally Sheet re-groups your program information which draws directly from the Disaster Assistance Resource Sheet into the major service categories.
To complete a Service and Resource Tally Sheet, the workgroup leader will need to gather completed Disaster Assistance Resource Sheets from workgroup members and transfer the information. You will need at least one sheet for each of the 14 major service categories outlined in the previous section. If workgroup members noted that a program or service did not fall into one of these categories, you may want to create a new category or combine existing categories.
You will want to form a subgroup of the disaster workgroup to focus on each major service category.
3. Complete a Responsibility Matrix Sheet
This final form, completed by the workgroup, designates subgroup leaders by assigning "primary" and "supportive" roles within each major service category. The representatives from "primary" organizations become the subgroup leaders. They will be responsible for leading the coordination efforts in each subgroup and presenting their subgroup work strategy to the workgroup. Subgroup leaders also become the main subgroup contacts and organizers during disasters. Supportive members help create, coordinate, and implement the subgroup strategy.
To prepare for this meeting, the workgroup leader will need to make 4 copies of the Responsibility Matrix Sheetsone for each emergency management phaseto be completed by each workgroup member during a meeting. If you added any major service categories while you were completing your Service and Resource Tally Sheet, you may want to include them now. Also, the workgroup leader will need to distribute copies of each of the Service and Resource Tally Sheets so that members can see which organizations are in each subgroup.

Instructions for the Responsibility Matrix Sheet
All workgroup members should receive four copies of the Responsibilio Matrix Sheet for each of the emergency management phases: mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. Workgroup members should also receive copies the Service and Resource Tally Sheet for each of the major service categories. For each category, the workgroup should decide which organization will be the subgroup leader ("primary") and which will be regular subgroup members ("supportive").
There should be only one "primary" organization per subgroup. For example, the nutrition subgroup will consist of many varied organizations, such as foodbanks, meals-on wheels, migrant health centers, churches and the local WIC program. Perhaps for example, the local foodbank is chosen by the subgroup to becOme the "primary" agency, which makes it the leader and contact organization for ensuring that nutrition-related tasks are delineated in the plan, and carried out if a disaster should occur.
1. Check the list of service providerson the left side of the sheet. Add, delete, or change names as appropriate for your community.
2. The14 major service categories for disaster assistancedre listed across the top of the sheet. Make sure that all of the major servict-s are covered.
3. When workgroup members decide which organizations will have "primary" roles and which will have "supportive roles", write a "P" for primary or an "S" for supportive in the appropriate squares.
4.Repeat these stepsfor each of the four phases.
5.Analyze and evaluatewhat you see. Are there any gaps?
4. Break into Subgroups
Once the workgroup decides who the primary organizations and subgroup leaders are, then the subgroup should plan to meet on their own and create a subgroup service strategy. Completed strategies will be presented to the workgroup and reviewed as one element of the total plait. The subgroup strategies should be organized into the four emergency management phases, listing subgroup objectives and the tasks needed to meet those objectives.

When reviewing the four phases, the subgroup may find that the service strengths lie in the mitigation, preparedness, and recovery phases, rather than the response phase. Remember that during a declared disaster, Red Cross and FEMA will be leading all response efforts. Also, keep in mind that well-plannedmitigation and preparedness phases usually mean a smoother recovery phase. Try to think of the four phases as a continuing cycle, with recovery and mitigation phases overlapping.
Some organizations may have programs in more than one subgroup. In these instances, heads of those organizations should appoint a staffmember who works closely on the specific program to represent their organization in the subgroup.
When creating a strategy, the subgroup should consider the following items: 4.Organize the services of your group according to the four phases: mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. Note that during a declared disaster that FEMA and Red Cross will coordinate all recovery efforts. To review these phases, refer back to the "Who Responds to Disasters" section.
4-Define further the primary and supportive roles in terms of your major service category. Who will be the subgroup contact when a disaster strikes? Will you need a phone chain to alert subgroup members? Should there be an alternate for the subgroup leader?
4.Factor in time limitations and eligibility requirements. Will these factors affect your coordination efforts?
4.Present your final strategy, written out, to the workgroup. The subgroup may choose to condense their strategy into a series of charts for each of the phases, statingthe primary objectives, the task that needs to be done to reach each objective, who will be responsible for carrying out the task, any limitations to the program, and any other information the workgroup feels is important.
27 How to Dan lop Your Plan
4.Do Your Resources Meet the Needs?
The workgroup should plan to meet again so that the subgroup leaaers can present each of their service strategies. Ideally, copies of these strategies should be mailed to workgroup members before the next meeting. With all of these subgroup strategies in hand, the workgroup should evaluate how the strategies work together as a collective plan and determine if there lre any service gaps.
To help the workgroup evaluate the strategies as a collective plan, this section features some general question& that the workgroup should consider. The second section lists some suggestions from service providers who have been through disasters.
Following this workgroup meeting, subgroups nvy choose to meet again to re-evaluate their service strategy.
Evaluate What Services the Workgroup Can Offer
Have both the subgroups and workgroups compare the services they provide with the needs farmworkers would have during disasters. 4.Are the collective resources in the community sufficient to meet farmworkers' need in normal times? Arc there enough resources to meet farmworkers' needs before, during, and after a disaster? How can organizations pool resources?
4.Create a wish list of resources that would bolster existing services. How can you obtain fimding for those items on your wish list?
ieu Have you exhausted all sources of state, federal, or local funding?
4. What local funding sources could send aid quickly? Prepare background information in advance of proposal deadlines and update your background information regularly.
+ If you receive federal funding, you may have to wait several months to receive supplemental aid during disasters. How can you meet the immediate needs in the meantime?
37 28 How to Develop Your Plan
In past disasters, farmworkers have complained thatsome providers and volunteers did not respect differences in language and culture. Whatcan be done to avoid future misunderstandings? How does this relate to the role of volunteers, including volunteers in uniforms?
Review "Lessons Learned"
The following list compiles suggestions, organized by each of the phases, that were given by service providers who have recently been through disasters. The workgroup and subgroups may want to keep these "lessons learned" in mind as they review their plan and strategies.
Mitigation Phase
0 Have a clear and detailed understanding about farmworkers, knowing which months they live in the community, and where theyare located. Include maps of labor camp locations, and addivss of each. Also list the number of the nearest phone
4 List potential hazards in your community, and how vulnerable farmworkers are to each. What kind of disasters affect only farmworkers?
4 Empower farmworkers by providing training on how to protect themselves during a disaster and what resourcesmay be available to help afterwards.
4.Assess the quality of farmworker housing. How much wind and flooding can certain structurcs, such as mobile homes, and buildings in labor camps, withstand? How can you reduce flood damageor hurricane damage? To what extent can you weatheriu farmworker housing?
4Advocate for legislation to improve farmworker health and housing.
0 Talk with growers about safe and adequate housing for farmworkers.
0 Think about employment and training possibilities for displaced farmworkers.
Fundraise within your organization(s) and in the community. Starta fun run or a disaster fund to benefit farmworkers.
4 Train college students or other community volunteers to do outreachor provide transportation to and from labor camps.
33 29 How to Develop Your Plan
O Establish contacts with newspapers, TV,and radio stations so that you will know who to contact in a disaster. Create anddistribute a press kit.
O Decide what is the most effectivemedia to reach farmworkers, and develop contacts at those specific radio stations, IVstations, or newspapers.
4.Learn more about how the state and federal emergency management systems work. Arrange to have your state emergency managerbrief your group.
+ Talk to leaders in other states to developmutual aid pacts to pool resources across countyand state lines.
+ Have each organization designate adisaster coordinator who can temporarily leave their normal duties at any time tofocus on disaster activities.
+ Try to pre-arrange a financial contractwith companies and growers which will ensure that those who become unemployed as aresult of the disaster will continue to have a means of employment.
+ Make a phone chain, and agree on a timeand place to meet if lines are down during a disaster.
4.Find out what equipment and supplies might be neededfor farmworker-related disasters. What is available and what couldbe donated in advance? Such items would include flashlights,batteries, cellular phones, health kits with soap, towels, andtoothpaste.
Preparedness Phase
+ Alert community agencies to be preparedfor a possible crisis situation.
4.Determine who will locate, transport and evacuatefarmworkers if necessary. Where will they behoused?
4. Work with the emergency manager todesignate a public building for a Disaster Assistance Center for farmworkers. Informfarmworkers of the location.
4.Simplify, intake forms to save time and paperwork. Remember to get the funding source's prior approval.
O Ask for volunteers to go to labor campsand alert farmworkers of what to do, where to get medical care,apply for assistance, get food, and what radio/TV stations they should listen to for special directkms. 39 30 How to Develop Your Plan
4 Find out who will be the first at the DisasterAssistance Center to provide services., such as food and clothing distribution,transportation, medkal services, unemployment assistance, eligibilitydetermination for program participation, andtranslation services.
+ Talk with federal, state, and local agencies todetermine their regulations and eligibility requirements for various farmworker programs.
Recruit and train people to be self-sufficient volunteers. Itis much easier for providers when groups arrive organized withtheir own food, shelter, and transportation.
4 Develop an internal disaster plan for your agency oroffice so that co-workers know what role they would play. Ask employees todevelop family emergency preparedness plans.
Response Phase
4 In a declared disaster, organizations maybe asked by FEMA or the, Red Cross to assist in various ways. In an undeclareddisaster, you will have to depend more on your collective resources.
+ Set up Disaster Assistance Centers and shelters,with an emergency manager for declared disasters.
4.Start a journal of daily events, and save newspaperarticles about the disaster. Document everything. It will be useful not onlyfor funding, but to learn from, so that preparing for the nextdisaster will be smoother. Take photos of the damagethey can be invaluable(black and white is preferable).
+ Assess damage to farmworkers, includingwhich counties, number of people affected, damage to crops, and housing. Find outwho has done damage assessment in the past, probably the state emergency manager or Cooperative Extension agent.You may need to design a farmworker damage assessment sur vey. Refer to the "Farmworker Damage Assessment" section for more ideas.
4 Transport farmworkers for assistance. Evacuateand relocate them as necessary.
+ Help farmworkers apply for unemploymentassistance, food stamps, temporary food assistance, andother government services.
4.Supply food and medical assistance to farmworkers(refer to foodbanks, health centers).
4 `') 31 How to Develop Your Plan
0 Notify the media, including local radio, TV stations andnewspapers. Develop press releases with the damage assessment information and copies of your photos.
4.Solicit donations, for such items as food and clothes, from the community. Request specific items you need.
4.Receive and distribute cash and in-kind donations.
Write grant proposals for funding from federal, state, and private sources.
0 Create an "unmet needs" committee or an electronic bulletin boardto advise the public of farmworker needs. This helps avoid duplication of services.
4.Be visible in response efforts. Wear bright colorsor t-shirts with an agency logo.
4.Meet with staff regularly, and include mental health professionals for part of this. Watch for signs of stress such as: substance abuse, child abuse, spouse abuse, and weight gainamong disaster victims and providers.
0 Note that most of the primary response activities ina life-threatening disaster will be carried out by the FEMA, Red Cross, local fire department, police department, rescue squad andemergency medical services.
Recovery Phase
Update assessment of damage to crops and housing. Estimate theextent and length of inc me loss for farmworkers.
0 Continue certain relief programs, suchas housing, and food assistance until farmworkers are relocated, trained and placed into alternative jobs. Hire youth to clean up debris using funds from the Department of Labor's Disaster Assistance Program under Title ll ofJTPA. Contact your state governor's office for more information.
4.Hold a workpoup meeting to discuss and evaluateyour efforts in the disaster.
4i 32 How to Develop Your Plan
4.Find out if any farmworkers will be leaving your areas to do farmwork in other states. Find out if they will be eligible for any assistance in the affected state. Notify farmworker programs in these states where the farmworkers will be traveling. Several national directories of farmworker service providers exist, including JTPA §402, migrant health, migrant head start, and migrant education.
4.Conduct training of farmworkers that will help to empower them to handle emergencies or other disasters in the future.
4 9 33 How to Dm lop Your Plan
5.Put Your Plan into Annex Form
Now that the disaster workgroup and subgroups have met and evaluated how the strategies work together as a collective plan, the workgroup leader has enough information to develop an annex to the state emergency operations plan. This annex will have to be approved by the state emergency management agency (SEMA) before it can be included in the state plan. Also, keep in mind that your approved annex will only be used if a disaster has been declared. During undeclared disasters, you will have to rely on your own plan.
While state emergency operations plans outline general procedures, annexes describe specific functions in more detail and do not repeat any information that is already included in the state plan. Your state emergency operations manager can help tremendously with this. Refer to your state emergency operations plan for examples of annexes. Most state EOPs include annexes on communication, warning, public information, health and medical services, and evacuation. Damage assessment, farmworker relocation and other farmworker-specific functions could be included as separate annexes. Tasks should be carried out in cooperation with the state and local emergency response efforts.
The annex to the state plan is usually written in the same format as the state emergency operations plan. Formats do vary, however, from state to state. You will need to contact your state emergency management agency (SEMA) representative for some guidance. We have included a general outline that most states use for their own emergency plan. Each annex should include the first nine elements:
A.Introductory Material, B.Statement of Purpose, C. Situations and Assumptions, D. Concept of Operations, E. Assignment of Responsibilities, F. Administration and Logistics, G. Plan Development and Maintenance, H.Legal Authority, I. Definitions, and J. Functional Annexes (same format as the basic plan).

E. Assignment of Responsibilities.
This sections outlines who plays a primary role or supportive role in the four disaster phases. The four Responsibility Matrix sheets cover this information. Refer to the subgroup strategies.
F. Administration and Logistics.
This section addresses resource management, general support requirements, and availability of services. Refer to the Disaster Assistance Resource Sheets and the Service and Resource Tall) Sheets.
G. Plan Development and Maintenance.
This section describes the planning process, the participants involved in that process, and the interaction expected between planning levels. Identify those people who will develop the plan and assign planning responsibilities. Also include who will coordinate the total planning effort, and how the plan will be updated. (Refer to the subgroup strategies.)
H. Legal Authority.
This section must give the legal basis for emergency operations and activities, by including any organizational statutes, local ordinances, executive orders, regulations and formal agreements that pertain to farmworkers and emergencies. If farmworkers are not included in some of these laws, discuss the implications.
I. Definitions.
This glossary section gives the meanings of terms used in the annex.
4 5 36 How to Develop Your Plan
6.Essential Elements of Your Disaster Plan
If you and your workgroup were not able to do all of the previous steps to create a complete farmworker disaster plan, we suggest mat youmake sure you can at least account for thefollowing items:
O Accurate maps and directions to labor camps/residences of farmworkers, number of farmworkers living at each, phone numbers where farmworkers can be reached, and languages spoken. Include statementof how farmworkers will be informed of an impending disaster.
O Name of a contact person(s) from each organization who will be responsible for needed services. O Name of person(s) who wili contact the media to report on the event and to provide documentation for local, state, and federalassistance. Keep an ongoing status report to keep the public sensitized tothe issue. Include the names of radio stations that agree to make announcements in languages, other than English, that farmworkers speak. O A phone chain, linking the workgroup and subgroups, to ensure that everyone is contacted. O List of organizations that should be notified in the case of a farmworker disaster. This list should include organizations that can provide translators, drivers, and other volunteers.
O Completed Disaster Assistance Resources Sheets.
CI Completed Service and Resource Tally Sheets
CIFour completed Responsibilio Matrix Sheets.
37 4 3 How to Develop Your Plan
7.Follow Up and Ideas for Training
The importance of Follow-Up
Your plan and annex are unique to the needs in your area, and should reflect any changes that occur in your community. After the major part of your plan is completed, it will be important for your workgroup (or at least the subgroups and the subgroup leaders) to continue meeting regularly. The service strategies should be updated and re-evaluated annually.
Pay special attention to federal programs, especially some federal disaster programs which may decrease or eliminate provisions for nonstate residents and undocumented workers. Additional farmworker information, including camps which have newly opened or closed or the changing ethnic populations of farmworkers from season to season, should be also be noted. Keep up to date by reading national newspapers and subscribing to publications that discuss farmworkers issues, such as the AFOP Washington Newsline newsletter.
ideas for Training
In order to improve and expand the range of services that workgroup members can offer, we have included some staff training aides, including a sample presentation for farmworker emergency preparedness training and a sample farmworker disaster assistance form. We have also included a list of additional disaster training ideas for staff.
1. Farmworker Emergency Preparedness Training
Migrant workers are often located in remote labor camps and do not know what to do or where to go in case a disaster strikes.

38 How tO Develop Your Plan
Make sure that you first clear this information withthe grower and contractor before going to the camp. Encourage the grower toparticipate in the discussion.
A.Introduction
What is a disaster to you? Some are devastating and happenwith little warning, like floods and hitrricznes. Others occur moreslowly, like droughts and freezes,where the effects are not so visible.
+ Do disasters affect farmworkers anydifferently than the rest of the community?
+ Discuss past disasters farmworkers haveexperienced. What assistance did they receive? How long before thim were normal again?How long was ir before they could raiseenough money to travel to another region?
4.Describe the local region and the types of disasters the area has experienced recently. Explain how farmworkers were affectedand what was done about it.
Explain that you want to help increase everyone's awarenessabout the possibility of a disaster.
B. What the law provides kw farmworkers
4.'What are the state laws regarding individual and family assistance?
4If farmworkers had to relocate because of a disaster, whathelp would they receive?
4. What are the residency requirements to receiveassistance?
4Explain why farmworkers do not receive compensation fromtheir employe ,. if a disaster caused them to stop working.
C. Services available to farmworkers 4A list of services should be posted on the wall in the camps,including the local community health center, migrant head start center,migrant education program, farmworker employment and training agency,legal action program and food banks which assist farmworkers duringthe normal season.
4.Discuss why farmworkers may need to wait several weeks or monthsfor compensation or substantial assistance after a crisis period has passed.
39 4 3 How to Develop Your Plan
+ Emphasize the importance of documenting all wages. This will help to prove income so that they can receive compensation if there is a disaster. If they were employed at the time of the disaster andcan show proof, they may be eligible for disaster unemployment assistance.
0 Discuss what assistance they can receive if they are not citizens or legal U.S. residents.
D. How farmworkers can prepare for disasters
Farmworkers can empower themselves and their families by planning. Noone can prevent a drought, freeze, flood or hurricane, but knowledge is a great weapon. Knowing where to go at a moment's notice will save valuable time. Identi& a farmworker with a car who would be willing to volunteerto drive others to safety in case of an emergency.
+ Use practice drills with farmworkers so they will know how to quickly evacuate their house or camp.
0,Discuss what a Disaster Assistance Center provides, and which radio stations to listen to for instructions on where to go.
4-Encourage them not to be hesitant with firemen, medics,rescue teams and other uniformed officials during disasters. Farmworkers should not hide from these p:ople who have come to helpsave their lives.
E. Summary and conclusion
Many things about disasters cannot be controlled. But if we inform ourselves now, we can be better prepared. Whether or not a disaster strikes, you should know what community services are available and where theyare located.
2. Other Training Ideas
There arc many other types of training that could benefit service organizations during disasters. You may want to createyou:- own training ideas list according to your needs.

5 41 How to Develop Your Plan
8.Damage Assessment Training
One of the main obstacles to farmworkers receiving aid is the lack of data showing disaster-related damage and lost income. Normally, few people know how to do damage assessment, and they are usually overworked and sometimes unavailable during a disaster. Do not wait until a disaster occurs to think about damage assessment! Gathering information about crop yields and farmworker populations during the mitigation phase can save you much valuable time later on. Here are a few suggestions to get timely farmworker damage assessment: Find out which organizations conduct crop and property damage assessment for community-wide disasters. For more information, contact the local emergency management agency and cooperative extension office.
4.Invite a speaker to address your group on methods used for assessments of disasters of various magnitudes and severity.
+ Determine who will be the contact person(s) for collecting damage assessment information after a disaster occurs.
Find out where you can get the requested information.
4.After a disaster strikes, collect newspaper articles and other printed information about the disaster. These can provide you with more information about the disaster's impact on farmworkers.
Complete a Damage Assessment Form.
The Damage Assessment Form is a sample tool that can help you conduct your farmworker damage assessment. An additional copy of the form is included in the "Forms" section. Once you have completed this form, you should have a fairly comprehensive view of the challenge that your disaster workgroup and subgroups must face.

The Service and Resource Tally Sheet re-groups your program information that draws directly from the Disaster Assistance Resource Sheet into the major service categories.
To complete a Service and Resource Tally Sheet, the workgroup leader will need to gather completed Disaster Assistance Resource Sheets from workgroup members and transfer the information. You will need at least one sheet for each of the 14 major service categories outlined in the previous section. If workgroup members noted that a program or service did not fall into one of these categories, you may want to create a new category or combine existing categories.
You will want to form a subgroup of the disaster workgroup to focus on each major service category.

instructions for the Responsibility Matrix Sheet
All workgroup members should receive four copies of he Responsibility Matrix Sheet for each of the emergency management phases: mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. Workgroup members should also receive copies the Service and Resource Tally Sheet for each of the major service categories. For each category, the workgroup should decide which organization will be the subgroup leader ("primary") and which will be regular subgroup members ("supportive").
There should be only one "primary" organization per subgroup. For example, the nutrition subgroup will consist of many varied organizations, such as foodbanks, meals-on wheels, JTPA §402 programs, migrant health centers, churches and local WIC and foodbank programs. Perhaps for example, the local foodbank is chosen by the subgroup to become the "primary" agency, which makes it the leader and contact organization for ensuring that nutrition-related tasks are delineated in the plan, and carried out if a disaster should occur.
1. Check the list of service providerson the left side of the sheet. Add, delete, or change names as appropriate for your community.
2. The14 oajor service categories for disaster assistanceare listed across the top of the sheet. Make sure that all of the major services are covered.
3. When workgroup members decide which organizations will have "primary" roles and which will have "supportive roles",write a "P" for primary or an "S" for supportive in the appropriate squares.
4.Repeat these stepsfor each of the four phases.

This proposal would replace the Job Training Partnership Act, Title III EDWAA program which has provided very limited and sporadic disaster employment assistance to farmworkers. Clinton's proposal would consolidate six programs serving dislocated workers: Economic Dislocation and Worker Assistance, Trade Adjustment Assistance, NAFTA Bridge Program, Clean Air Employment Transition, Defense Diversification, and Defense Conversion Adjustment. Dislocated workers would be able to access these services by going to a "One Stop" Career Center administered by each state. The proposal states that the new program would be phased in during FY 1995 and fully implemented by FY 2000.
